Over that time, through dozens of trips lasting a total of around two years, I have visited all twenty Italian regions, including Sicily itself twenty times. Although I have seen countless beautiful places, my greatest love was, is, and always will be <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/category\/sicily-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sicily<\/a>, its beauty, diversity, and wonderful people. This extraordinary island, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/category\/tuscany-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuscany<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/tag\/lake-garda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Garda<\/a>, <a href=\"\/?cat_ID=21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Campania<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/tag\/trentino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trentino<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/tag\/wenecja\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Venice<\/a>, is also the most frequent topic of my blog posts, where I love to introduce readers to places that are almost completely unknown in Poland and previously barely described. It was on Italia by Natalia that places such as the Cavagrande del Cassibile Canyon, the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, Marzamemi, Monte Cofano, or the Saracens\u2019 Path first appeared, as well as in Tuscany <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/tuscan-hot-thermal-springs-spa-for-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free thermal hot springs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/tuscany-the-most-beautiful-view-points-in-the-val-dorcia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">viewpoints in the Val d\u2019Orcia Valley<\/a>, in Trentino numerous easy Dolomites trails suitable for the whole family, and in Campania, for example, the stunning Cilento Coast. Using my knowledge and frequent stays in Italy, I discover, then describe and promote places and services in Italy that I personally enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about me \u2013 including a list of awards and distinctions in blogger rankings \u2013 can be found in the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/natalia-rosiak-italy-travel-blogger\/\"><strong>About me<\/strong><\/a>\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-will-you-find-on-the-blog\">What will you find on the blog?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I travel in Italy and write about it exclusively based on my own experiences and observations. Apart from the occasional guest post \u2013 when I give the floor to others \u2013 you won\u2019t find guides to places I haven\u2019t been, emotions I haven\u2019t felt, or texts written by artificial intelligence. Authenticity and honesty are the most important things on this blog, even more important than my income. This is the key thing that sets Italia by Natalia apart from other blogs with a similar focus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I inspire readers to discover a lesser-known Italy slowly, far away from museums and crowds. I encourage traveling outside the high season and visiting places that are not very popular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I recommend accommodations, but only those I have personally stayed in. I don\u2019t collect other people\u2019s recommendations, because everyone has their own tastes. What delights person X may deeply disappoint person Y. That\u2019s why, if you notice that we have similar preferences, you can confidently use my database of carefully <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/en\/checked-accommodation-in-italy-list-descriptions-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>verified accommodations in Italy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-suggestion-for-you\">My suggestion for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don\u2019t take it personally, but you need to know that for quite some time now I haven\u2019t been giving travel advice by email. I stopped when the number of messages asking for recommendations and help planning trips exceeded 30 per day, and that was back when the monthly number of blog visitors was roughly ten times smaller than it is today. On top of that, I was working a full-time job then, and by trying to advise everyone who asked, I ended up in a situation where new posts appeared less and less often, and I slept less and less. This Italy travel blog is my passion, but it is also my work, and since leaving my full-time job it has been my main source of income. So if you haven\u2019t found the right information in my articles and you\u2019re looking for advice, you have a few options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You are warmly invited to my Facebook group&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/182044795619775\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ITALY \u2013 travel &amp; lifestyle<\/a>, where together with 73k Italy lovers we share experiences, give advice, laugh, and joke. However, before you add a new post, please read the rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don\u2019t use Facebook, you can ask your question in one of the comments on the blog. I\u2019ll try to reply as time allows, and there\u2019s a good chance that one of the readers will also share their experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am the author of well-regarded guides and travel handbooks available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/sklep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog\u2019s online shop<\/a>, as well as printed travel books you can find, among others, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empik.com\/ksiazki,31,s?q=natalia+rosiak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Empik<\/a> and directly in the online store of <a href=\"https:\/\/marginesy.com.pl\/search\/result?search=rosiak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wydawnictwo Marginesy<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you run a business connected to Italy (directly or indirectly), would like to work with me, and understand that the benefits must be mutual, you\u2019ll find more information in the <a
